What's boring is your aproach.

Even if that part of the desired outcome is true (it's not though, as it rarely takes into consideration long term benefits and focuses purely on "instant gratification"), people who go to online programming forums as HN are hobbyists. And hobbyists do care about tools. You can't expect enthusiast to have this boring approach of someone who simply want to finish job on passable level and get the fuck out of office as quickly as possible.

And even if you are not a hobbyist, using a computer to do your/some job for you is literally what programming is about. So dismissing the topic of improving that process with better tools is simply ignorant
